(MCT) — In his first public comments since tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee on April 28, Derrick Rose posted a 45-second video on YouTube Friday in which he thanks fans for their support and vows to return.

"Thank you for all your support, your prayers, cards, messages, emails, just checking up on me," a relaxed Rose said. "I know I haven’t been out there but I appreciate everything. I appreciate you all who have been watching this video. I just been having therapy, going to therapy every day.

"Hopefully, you all will see me back out there. My biggest concern is don’t worry about me. I know I’m going to be all right. I know that I’m healthy. I know that I’m positive. I believe in God. So I should be back on the court soon. I hope that you support not only me but the Bulls."
